Maria Del Pilar Burton, a 65-year-old resident of Grenfell Tower, was caught in the blaze with her husband Nicholas.

Nicholas woke in hospital earlier today not knowing where Maria was and has now appealed for help tracing her.

One resident Simon, who helped the pensioner out of the building, spoke to the Mirror and said: "Nicholas does not know where Maria is and she has Alzheimer's, but we know she got out. He's desperate to find her."
